History

edit

After the 2006 National Census, Haftkel District was separated from the county in the establishment of Haftkel County, which was divided into two districts and three rural districts, with Haftkel as its capital and only city at the time.[4]

After the 2011 National Census, Abolfares and Soltanabad Rural Districts were separated from the Central District in the establishment of Abolfares, Rud Zard, and Soltanabad Districts, each with two rural districts. As a result, four new rural districts were created: Jereh, Mamatin, Rostamabad, and Seh Tolun.[5]

After the 2016 census, the villages of Bavaj,[6] Rud Zard-e Mashin,[7] and Soltanabad were elevated to city status.[6]
